Just Enough Git

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is a very useful book. It is not a typical "pocket guide," a book that contains only enough information to remind you of what you already know. The book is organized well but is too verbose to serve as a quick reference. This book should have been titled "Just enough Git" because it contains a lot of explanations that will help the user understand how Git works and it contains examples that show how to use Git in certain common workflows. Note, this book probably will not serve as an introduction for a person who is completely unfamiliar with Git, and certainly not for someone who is completely unfamiliar with version control. Read some of the online tutorials before you pick up this book. Also note, if you plan to use TortoiseGit this book assumes the user is doing all operations on the command line...which you won't do with TortoiseGit. However, I've found that now that I've read this book I have a much better understanding of how to use TortoiseGit.

This is the book to read to understand not only Git, but a whole new approach to document modeling.

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2015

After reading another reviewers comment : 'I had concluded git was a psychological experiment designed by insane people as an amusement. ' - I hit Buy immediately. This is definitely the book for me. I concluded early on using git that while I could follow 'cookbook' directions I was missing something fundamental - I simply didn't understand what was going on 'under the hood'.

What I learned from this book is amazing - even if ignore the the fact that git is a source control tool - the underlying data model and operations are fascinating and unique - well worth reading even if you never use git in your life. Its so different you need to try to completely forget any preconceptions you have of other source control systems, even document management systems and start with a blank slate.

Finally I know that Git *was* designed by insane people - *brilliant* insane people - but not for amusement, but rather pure genius turned into rock solid engineering in ways I could not previously imagine possible.

Perfect introduction (or re-introduction) to git

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent and fun to read introduction to the git version control system. I'll be recommending it to friends and colleagues whenever they want to learn more about git.

What I appreciate most about the book is it begins by diving into a description git internals rather than starting with trivial examples. I had been using git for years but before reading this book I was confounded by git's design, workflow and nomenclature decisions. Having "grown up" with CVS, SVN, P4, etc. I had concluded git was a psychological experiment designed by insane people as an amusement. But within the first few sections of this book much of what hadn't been clear to me before all started to make sense. After reading this book I've moved the authors of git out of the "insane" category and into the "insane genius" category.

The most helpful IT book I've read in a very long time

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

Very concise and easy to read introduction to Git. You can tell that the author is not being paid by the word, any info that is provided is provided for a reason and the information is all in a very carefully thought out order. There is so little redundant information that if you were to read the chapters out of order just slightly or skip the first chapter you would be at a serious disadvantage compared to a reader that hadn't.

If I ever need any books on other topics Richard E. Silverman has written about I will buy them before any others. I can only assume his code is equally clean.

Must GIT! This book will help you GIT the hang of GIT.

GIT is a strange animal and can take some GITing used to. :) I recommend reading this because it quickly explains the logic behind the platform and then explains how to use it.

it is what it is, a quick reference book - you just refer to it. That said, the O'Reilly Pocket Reference books are the quickest and easiest source of arcane command formats - unlike a reference web page you have to wait to paint on the screen. Its there in front of you, likely with the spine already bent to the page of that command you can never seem to memorize.
